" Cassian cut her off , his voice booming through the mansion . [ ] " He's the heir of Thornwell family ! He can do whatever he wants !

What gives you the right to treat him like that ?! " ] Just then , Caleb started sobbing even harder . " Daddy , Aunt Verena told me that Mommy isn't my mommy ! She said she's my mommy !
